Audio Guestbook

Voicemails from
your favorite people.

An old phone in the corner. Guests pick up. They leave you a message, funny, sweet, drunk, or all three. You listen back five years later and lose it.

How it works

Three
simple steps.

We do the setup. We collect the recordings. You play them back forever.

  1. 01 · We set it up

    Phone in the corner.

    We arrive 30 minutes before guests. The phone goes on a table or stand. A small tent card explains what to do.

  2. 02 · Guests record

    Pick up. Talk. Hang up.

    They lift the receiver, hear your custom greeting, leave a message up to 90 seconds. The phone records to internal storage. Nothing for guests to figure out.

  3. 03 · We deliver

    All recordings, yours.

    Within a week, you get every recording as an MP3 in a shared folder. Optional add-on: a curated highlights reel.

What guests record

The kind of stuff
you can't fake.

"I knew you were gonna marry her the second she made you laugh on the floor at Trader Joe's."

Wedding · best friend · 11 PM

"Mija, eres la luz de mi vida. Que Dios te bendiga siempre."

Quinceañera · abuela · 8 PM

"I can't believe you're 50. You still look 27, that's the truth and I'm not even drunk yet."

50th birthday · sister · 9:30 PM

"Boss, your retirement was earned. We'll miss you. Now please call IT and turn in your laptop."

Retirement party · coworker · 6 PM

Best for

When this
really lands.

  • Weddings. The single best add-on. Capture toasts, secrets, and your aunt at the bar.
  • Milestone birthdays. 40s, 50s, 60s, retirements. People who've known you a long time leave the best messages.
  • Quinceañeras. Multi-generational, bilingual. Abuela's message becomes a family heirloom.
  • Memorials. When the goal is remembrance, voices matter more than photos. We treat these jobs especially carefully.
  • Baby showers. Advice for the new parents that they'll listen back to in a decade.

Audio guestbook FAQ

Stuff people
ask about the phone.

  • 01 What exactly is an audio guestbook?

    It's an old-school telephone, modified inside. Guests pick up the receiver, hear a custom prompt (your voice if you want), and leave a voicemail-style message. We capture every recording and send them all to you after the event in one neat folder.

  • 02 How is this different from a regular guestbook?

    Paper guestbooks get signatures. People scribble 'Congrats!' and move on. The audio guestbook captures voices: laughter, drunken proclamations, your grandfather's advice for marriage. You play it back five years later and everyone's still in the room.

  • 03 Can guests get drunk and ramble forever?

    We cap recordings at 90 seconds by default (you can adjust). The funniest messages are usually short. Your uncle leaving a four-minute philosophical monologue is also on brand though.

  • 04 Can I customize the prompt my guests hear?

    Yes. We can record your voice, the bride's voice, your grandma's voice, whoever's. Or stick with our default warm script. It's the first thing guests hear, so it sets the tone.

  • 05 Does it need wifi or power?

    Power, yes, a regular outlet within 25 feet. Wifi, no. The phone runs on local storage and we collect the recordings after the event.

  • 06 What do I get afterward?

    All recordings as MP3 files in a shared folder, organized chronologically. We can also do a curated highlights reel for a small extra fee. We listen through and pick the best 8–12 messages, edit them lightly, and deliver as one shareable audio file.

  • 07 Can we add this to another booth booking?

    Yes. Most weddings book the audio guestbook alongside a Glam booth (often with the Print add-on). It runs in a quiet corner and complements the photos perfectly.
